There’s an old Soviet joke: A man goes up to the newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. Finally, the clerk asked him what he was trying to find. “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituary section is in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”

A grandma who works at Target. An advocate for farmworkers. A cancer researcher. A grad student who wrote an op-ed. A hairdresser. A sheet metal worker and loving father to an autistic child. At least two people who took a wrong turn on the same bridge in Detroit. A toddler.

This line is going to stick with me for a very long time. “One of them is a 4-year-old with Stage 4 cancer who was deported without medication or the ability to contact their doctors…”

My heart ached when I was reminded that Aaron Swartz was prosecuted for trying to make academic knowledge more accessible to the public. Meta, meanwhile, is doing it for their own bottom line. I'm going to guess that no one at Meta will be looking at spending 35 years in jail for this.

We shouldn’t accept that a CEO killer must get a national manhunt when cops don’t solve most murders at all. A migrant teenager was just murdered in NYC, cops just killed a guy here — the lives of these other people are worth just as much as that CEO.

"You don't seriously condone violence in healthcare do you?" I don't—but why do you? While insurance corps enabled 70K preventable annual deaths—you sat silent. As they forced 500K annual medical bankruptcies—you sat silent. One CEO is killed & NOW you see violence? Interesting.
